Antivirus programs or the built-in Windows Defender often flag the legacy communication protocols of the Wilcom dongle as suspicious behavior. This can lead to the driver files being quarantined or blocked. To fix this, users should add the Wilcom installation folder and the specific driver executable files to their antivirus "Exclusion" or "Exception" lists. Running the program in "Compatibility Mode" for Windows XP Service Pack 3 and granting it "Administrative Privileges" can also bypass certain operating system restrictions that trigger the security device error.
